Understanding this quote
The quote makes a deliberately broad claim: explanations are not necessary for young people because every explanation is said to be wrong. It treats explanations as incomplete or misleading rather than fully reliable. The wording is absolute, so it reads more like a sharp challenge to the value of explaining than a literal claim that no explanation can ever be useful.
